Google Earth Surfing with Wii.

At MacWorld this week Google has been thrilling crowds with a chance to surf with Google Earth using a Wii Balance Board and running on a Mac. Googler David Oster wrote some javascript code to interface the Wii with the Google Earth API, and he's releasing the code as open source. He has more details on what he did at the Lat Long blog. And, David says the source code will be posted at the Google Mac Developer Playground next week. In the meantime, watch this video to see it in action:
